Thames River near the Mill in Dorchester, right way up!
This photo was taken of the Thames with my 30 year old Nikon FE2 this summer.

Sunrise at Springbank Dam
Early winter morning as the sun pokes past the dam, the steam rises from the water, which is much warmer than the -24C air temperature.
Twilight over the Thames

Fall on the Thames
A look at the South Branch of the Thames River in the Fall of 2014. Looking east at the river from White's Bridge on Hamilton Rd. East.
Springbank Walking Bridge, Ben Benedict, 2010
The photo was taken from a vista behind Springbank Gardens. Like many spots along the Thames River, small trails lead to these big, bright vistas or man and nature living harmoniously together. While that is not always the case, this is a good example of the wonder that is available along the Thames.
North Branch Thame sRiver, Ben Benedict, 2009
The photo was taken during a sketching trip with fellow artist Ruth Strebe in 2009. I love the intensity and immediacy of the rocks juxtaposed against the sweeping treeline and solitary tree standing guard in the background.
East Park Rapids, Ben Benedict, 2010
This was taken during London Pride 2010 at East Park Golf Course. What struck me was the way the eroding bank and rapids seemed to 'speak' to each other. I think this happens frequently for those who are willing to spend time with the river.
Opposite East Park golf course.
Follow the shoreline route east through Meadowlilly Woods ESA and you will reach this nice lookoff at a bend in the river. It is a nice spot for a picnic.
Canoeing on the Thames
Was at the Forks of the Thames and I saw this couple enjoying a canoe ride on the Thames.
